Abstract

The genus Anacroneuria Klapalek (1909) is the dominant element in the stonefly fauna of Mexico, Central America, and much of South America. The genus contains many described species most of which have been characterized inadequately for positive identification. The purpose of this paper is to define the 19 species of Anacroneuria which I recognize in material from Mexico and Central America. The nucleus of the material upon which this paper is based is a series of stoneflies collected mostly by the late Alfonso Dampf in Mexico during the early 1930's. Originally sent to Cornell, the specimens passed from Dr. Peter Claassen to Dr. T. H. Frison at Urbana, and then to Dr. Wm. E. Ricker of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada who made a preliminary study of them before sending the collection to me.
